Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Upvote for unpopular opinion but bro…. It’s a cartoon you control. I’m not a huge fan of the new ones but I think it looks fine for what it is.
On one hand, yeah, your opinion is perfectly valid.
On the other hand, if I were to challenge someone on a statement like this, I'd say "show me a screenshot of an expensive game with worse cel-shading".
On the third hand though, I've discovered over time that sometimes people are just currently blind/tasteless and they just can't see what's wrong with some visuals. No offense at you or anything. I mean, I was blind and tasteless in my 20s. My good taste took time to develop.
Also I think I need to go back to chemo for that third hand.
I don’t really like the art style of cel shading in games anyway. I’ll play Borderlands and the like, but it’s not my first choice of art style. That’s probably why I don’t have strong feelings about any particular implementation.
I mean, there are different kinds of cel-shading. There aren't a lot of games that really capture the look of traditional animation— but it's totally possible. Hypothetically-speaking, would you have liked a game that looked like gorgeous traditional animation à la Disney or Don Bluth? (Don Bluth made The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, The Secret of NIMH, etc.)
Yes! When the tech is to that level I’ll be on board! I pumped way too many quarters into Dragons Lair as a kid so I guess the appreciation is buried in me somewhere.
